Notice that Matt only mentions the party affiliation of 1 person in the entire article, an IL Republican, while leaving out the former Chairman of the Alabama Democratic Party William Blount and the Dem Mayor and council members in Birmingham that went to prison. so should we assume that every politician Tiabbi writes about when he talks about cesspools of corruption is a Democrat unless specifically mentioned as otherwise?
That seems more than reasonable to me, based on watching the tone of much reporting over the years.
